A member asked:

How does puberty affect someone's mental health?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Puberty: With raging hormones, increasing responsibilities, peer pressure, and adulthood just around the corner, all of the above combine to stress the adolescent experiencing all of the above. What makes it easier is ongoing communication and negotiation with transitioning into a new body, mindset, social milieu, and the adult world.
